Uniaxial 2D Superlattice of Fe-4 Molecular Magnets on Graphene

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Luca Gragnaniello, Fabian Paschke

We demonstrate that electrospray deposition enables the fabrication of highly periodic self-assembled arrays of Fe4H single molecule magnets on graphene/Ir(111). The energetic positions of molecular states are probed by means of scanning tunneling spectros ...

Two-Orbital Kondo Screening in a Self-Assembled Metal Organic Complex

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Oleg Yazyev, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Luca Gragnaniello, Gabriel Albert Autes, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

Iron atoms adsorbed on a Cu(111) surface and buried under polyphenyl dicarbonitrile molecules exhibit strongly spatial anisotropic Kondo features with directionally dependent Kondo temperatures and line shapes, as evidenced by scanning tunneling spectrosco ...

Evidence for a Strong Topological Insulator Phase in ZrTe5

Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi, Luca Gragnaniello

The complex electronic properties of ZrTe5 have recently stimulated in-depth investigations that assigned this material to either a topological insulator or a 3D Dirac semimetal phase. Here we report a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of bo ...

Out-of-Plane Alignment of Er(trensal) Easy Magnetization Axes Using Graphene

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Fabio Donati, Luca Gragnaniello, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni, Alberto Cavallin

We have studied Er(trensal) single -ion magnets adsorbed on graphene/Ru(0001), on graphene/Ir(111), and on bare Ru(0001) by scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. On graphene, the molecules self -assemble into dense and well -orde ...

Origin of Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy and Large Orbital Moment in Fe Atoms on MgO

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Luca Gragnaniello, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

We report on the magnetic properties of individual Fe atoms deposited on MgO(100) thin films probed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We show that the Fe atoms have strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a zer ...

Magnetic moments in chemically ordered mass-selected CoPt and FePt clusters

Luca Gragnaniello

By combining high photon flux and chemical selectivity, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) have been used to study the magnetism of CoPt and FePt clusters before and after their transition to the chemically ordered L ...

Surface structure of nickel oxide layers on a Rh(111) surface

Luca Gragnaniello

The formation of nickel oxide nanolayers by oxidizing Ni overlayers on Rh(111) has been investigated and their structures are reported as a function of the nickel coverage and oxygen pressure. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffra ...

Ordered Arrays of Size-Selected Oxide Nanoparticles

Luca Gragnaniello

A bottom-up approach to produce a long-range ordered superlattice of monodisperse and isomorphic metal-oxide nanoparticles (NP) supported onto an oxide substrate is demonstrated. The synthetic strategy consists of self-assembling metallic NP on an ultrathi ...
